A topic about women is always interesting to discuss, including their works, such as a novel. Her life journey has been portrayed in a novel in detail. This paper aims to describe the representation of a women's novel in social media, the factors leading to it, and the values within. It employed a qualitative descriptive method with a feminist literary approach that examined the text from the women's side as a reader. Data were taken from a novel published online in social media and then printed. It was Elena. This study showed that women's novels in social media tend to experience marginalization/discrimination, stereotype/negative labeling, subordination, and excessive burden for women. The dominating cultural construction, patriarchy ideology, and familial ideology are the influencing factors. Women's novel also contains messages about religious values, education values, and the values of patience and endurance. It suggested that further research compared it with other novels published in social media or other media to provide a more comprehensive and varied description.

This study aimed at finding out domestic violence against women in Indonesia, especially as reflected in the novel Isinga written by Dorothea Rosa Herliany. The violence as a form of discrimination against women due to the influence of patriarchal culture, norms and customs is still abundant. Women are required to be good wives who are able to serve their husbands, be obedient, maintain food availability, take care of their children, and so on. Men only have a role to provide homes and make offspring. In Papuan culture, men who succeed in having many children will be more respectable. However, this is bad for the women body and psychological states. The results showed that the character in the novel tried to contextualize existential feminism. Nevertheless, she eventually accepted patriarchal culture.
